STUPID ADVICE WE GET
Can't believe things are moving so fast for me, with emotions and spiritual growth.! I only started having faith about 3 years ago. My goals are to sing and to write. With singing I found a folk open mic cafe about 4 yrs ago and tried a microphone for the first time. People were great too. I now feel it will happen again somehow in the future.
I also,love comedy writing and stand up. I Always tell people for me it will be "SIT DOWN COMEDY"!

lol this is so funny, I get so frustrated with all we are told to do to get better & if we don\'t do them then we don\'t want to feel better. I am happy you are out there doing what makes you happy. I hope you will share with us again, we can always use a bit of humor to make it through our days. Thank you, pouty, you are such a treasure & I am glad you are doing ok. Keep on doing what you are doing & I hope you find a place to do your sit-down comedy. Hugs, Denise
Cultivate your creative side. Humor and joy through singing can keep you going when so much else seems ridiculous (like all the stupid ways to help cure CFS). Enjoyed your journal. Keep being silly. It is good for our health.
Your feedback means alot. Thankyou!!
Ha! Love #8. Thanks for the laugh. Needed it. Heavy week! Yes, please..keep it up! Creating and laughing SO good for us. Hugs...
I\'ve been told to start jogging! OH YEA! I\'ll start at point A. and when I get four feet from there, and fall on my face, you can drag me by my legs back to my house and start CPR. Idiots. Some people are really idiots. And I love it when they suggest this vigorous exercise when you are lying in your bed, white as your sheet, struggling to take a breath! Gosh, I must feel awesome and just can\'t tell. Maybe after the job, I\'ll put on my ski pants and hit the slopes! Wanna come????
LOL! Really enjoyed the humor in this journal, Pouty!!
Haha! And, with homeopathy, you can\'t have any peppermint, not even in toothpaste. Maybe that\'s why you might feel better -no one will come near you due to bad breath :-). I\'ve been told my whole problem was poor posture - this from a rheumatologist who saw me in the middle of an attack of vertigo and muscle spasms so severe I could barely sit up. That\'s right - the poor posture CAUSED the problem, the problem didn\'t cause the poor posture. With diagnosing skills like that, I think I could be a doctor without any problem!!!!
Oh girls don\'t get me started here, I\'ve had it all dished out to me, everything you can think of.The jogging one as well, just 6mths ago.A naturopath told me I just needed to give up wheat and jog bare foot along the beach.When I explained I couldn\'t even walk along the beach, she commented that cfs patients don\'t really want to recover because they never want to do what is required of them to recover.Ignorant naturopath, doesn\'t even know what cfs is.Maybe they had pretend certificates in the corn flakes pkts.However pouty I must say parties are good for us, you know the sleep over jarmie parties where there is only ourselves at the party and no food unless someone turns up to feed us.And does lying on the bed and wriggling two toes all at the same time count for an aerobic workout ?? And as for supplements, herbal pills homeopathic, ayurvedic etc etc, well I could have a garage pill sale, only from my walk in robes.I had so many people tell me that acupuncture was what I needed many years ago.Every session collapsed me more, with the acupuncturists refusing to believe me. Finally I had an older chinese acupuncturist tell me that I should never have needles as my pulses were too weak.However moxabustion on the points was safe.I am still very favourable towards herbal fluid extracts, however.Anyway pouty, if we can find some humor in all of this, that is good medicine for sure.I do wish I could workout because I am developing bingo wings.Not huge ones but little ones sneaking up on me. Bye xoxo
Oh but I have never played bingo, not ever.
So glad everyone enjoyed this topic !
ha!!! that\'s how I feel!
Here;s some unwanted advice I received:
Take an Epsom salt bath
Take vitamins and exercise
Get the \"Eat this, Not That\" book and follow the advice in the book
I have \"mental\" problems
A few people have sent me CDs of sermons from their pastor
Just a few that I can remember right now. One day I think I will laugh at all of this. Not today.
